16% average going up to 40% higher for the boy racer type
Thats a heck of a price hike !!!
The main blame they gave was due to lawyers getting 40p of every £1 payout due to all the personal injury claims made

At what age do they class you as a boy racer?!
Am I a boy racer at 21?
Was I a boy racer at 17?
In both I think not, I drove a fiesta and a fabia, how many boy racers drive a fabia?
and what is a boy racer?
Is it a young man with a cap permanently pointing up at 45 degrees in a corsa?
Most of the lads I know have 1.0 cars that have body kits on, they don't race (cos they can't)
What exactly defines a boy racer?
I've been at traffic lights and girls have been more eager to race than lads!
I mean 30-40years old! Come on, bump up the old biddies prices as most of them can't drive for ****!
Fair enough if you have just past your test and driving anything over 1.4
or you've got points. But its stupid, is a geek a boy racer? Stupid insurence companys.

Whether they increase their prices by 16%, 2% or 250% means absolutely NOTHING - unless, you are the one facing a hike .............. but then you move company don't you??
No need to get wound up - just act accordingly!
Direct Line used to 'Cherry Pick' and I must admit I would too!
Imagine you are the one Insuring cars for a living, would YOU insure a 25 year old in an Impreza??
NO you would NOT!!
Would you Insure a car owned and driven by someone who had modified it and therefore had the brains of a mouse?
NO you would NOT!!
Would you insure someone with speeding convictions and a basball cap?
NO you would NOT!!
So why should they??

As above there is becoming a very big problem with personal injury claims.
The old classic of someone being fine after an accident, then going down the pub and chat to their mates, then a stiff neck appears and they get £3000 personal injury.
Also i am led to believe there are certain groups of people who go out and have accidents of purpose, just to claim injury money.

Yes really, like i said, it was accross the board a 16% increase
that could mean that some are as high as 40% and some are down

NU doubled my house & contents premium this year. I've never claimed off them so I called to ask why so expensive. Was told that they had re-rated different types of houses.
Suffice to say I'm now paying the same amount as last year with a different company.
